Reports show up to 93per cent of racehorses have or have had gastric ulcers during their racing career.
Racehorses are extremely prone to gastric ulcers due to a combination of factors:
Intense Exercise: Strenuous workouts can lead to increased stomach acid production and pressure on the stomach, damaging the lining.
Stress: The stress of racing, travelling, and competition can disrupt the horse’s digestive system, making it more susceptible to ulcers.
Irregular Feeding: Irregular mealtimes can lead to prolonged periods of high stomach acidity.
High-Starch Diets: Many performance feeds are high in starch, which can contribute to hindgut issues and further exacerbate stomach problems.
